can somone please help me, i posted a few days ago but no one seemed to know anything as there was no reply!

i have taken the bottome end of my motor apart with the head still intact on a engine stand with the intention of replacing the big end bearings and main bearings and thrust washer and the oil pump also. everything is appart. bearings have worn a little but i guess you would expet that with 100,000 kms and a heavy foot for a least 40,000 :happy:

there a no deep scores in the bearings just slight wear (coulor) and the crank looks perfect, it will be getting crack tested and the journals looked at to be positive that its fine.

my problem is that when i spoke to nissan and tried to order bearings the told me when ordering standard bearings i need to cheak markings on the crank and main and con rod caps and compare this to a chart and work out the grade i need for each bearing. they faxed me a graph but its in japanese and i cant make any sense of it.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!

when you buy the acl bearings.... standard size not oversize i think its the same as nissan, they grade the bearings depending on the markings... think it may have somthing to do with balance or the exact circumference of the journal.. i dunno, all i know is when you buy a standard bearing you need to know if its a garde 1,2 or 3??

wel nissan have told me i need a grade of bearing, those markings on the front end of the crank on the conrod caps, on the side of the con rod, on your main caps.... they are there apparently for bearing grades. i know if i get the crank machined to 10thou oversize i can just order a set of 10 thou oversize bearings... but there is nothing at all wrong with my crank. anyone else have any idea?

yeah i spoke to the head mechanic of marooka nissan service and he suggested that because he couldnt tell me over the phone... said he would have to look at it. it just seems like such a pain in the arse to get it there... its all in parts... the head is still on the block... its upside down on a engine stand. plus i have to get time off work to make it there!!!

i really thought i could just pull it apart and replace the bearings like any other motor.... this SUCKS!!!!!

king bearings and linised crank for $300? so who did it and did you just send them a crank and they linish it and give you bearings that will fit?

Nepean Engines in Penrith.

took the crank to them, 2 days later got it back with new bearings and lynished . i think though that the mains are another brand not king come to mention it, as he said that the main force is on teh big ends not the main bearings, this is for a 300rwkw power goal which he knew about.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
